French costumes 16th century. Period of Henry III.

Renaissance fashion period.

The countess Dziatynska, by birth princess Czartoryska, whose fine collection and good taste in fine arts are well known, has put to our disposition a selection of costumes engraved by Jacques Boissard in 1581. This selection, which has become extremely rare, presents a complete history of the costumes of that age. We will often profit by it: from to day we copy one of the plates with french costumes.
